Answer 1

To answer the question, we need to determine the degree of rotation needed for both counterclockwise and clockwise turns around point P.

Since the details of the triangles' positions and the specific degrees are not provided, a general response would describe what the rotations imply:

Assuming that the triangles are initially positioned with vertex A touching the right ray and vertex A' touching the left ray and that these must meet at angle P:

1. Counterclockwise Rotation: This would be the angle measured in a positive direction from the right ray to the left ray. If the triangle is rotated from the right ray to the left ray, this could be something like 90° counterclockwise.

2. Clockwise Rotation: Conversely, moving from the left ray back to the right ray would be measured in a negative direction. This would typically be -90° clockwise.

Thus, a complete and accurate sentence would be: The triangle is rotated 90° counterclockwise about P or -90° clockwise about P.

However, please adjust the degrees according to the precise angle shown in the image if you have it.
